Destiny 2 Players Think They’ve Found Part of the Malfeasance Quest
The Malfeasance hand cannon has eluded Destiny 2 players since the beginning of Forsaken, but it looks like a portion of the quest that involves it has been discovered by some fans.
Reported by Forbes, this exotic weapon has been a mystery for some time, as players can currently obtain ornaments for it, and it was even advertised before the expansion came out. Well, some players might have found part of the quest that eventually leads to the weapon, though nobody has found the weapon or properly started the quest yet.
Batwoman Explained: Meet the Newest Star of the Arrowverse
There's a major new player in The CW's Arrowverse: Ruby Rose is now starring on her own series as Batwoman, Gotham's *other* major superhero protector. (Check out our review of the Batwoman premiere here.)

Just when you thought things couldn't get any more diabolical for Penelope (Jessica Garza) and her busload of cultists offering themselves to local Purgers, she's been taken by collectors (in creepy nun masks) and plunged headlong into the "McDonald's of the Purge."
I visited the production of The Purge series this past August and got to set foot inside the Carnival of Flesh. Flip through some of the wickedness I caught on camera below...

Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, is reportedly saying no to shows that feature graphic depictions of sex and violence for the tech company's upcoming digital streaming slate.
